ХI International Biennial for Caricature "Masters of Caricature", Plovdiv 2021
SUBJECT: THE MUSEUM
In Antiquity, the
Musaeum was the Temple of the Muses – patrons of the arts. Since the very
beginning of the creation of the museum, it became a center of the cultural and
social life of the community, a place where different scientific researches and
discoveries were presented. For more than two millennia, the museums have kept
the knowledge and traditions, the tangible and intangible treasures, they
educate and they are desirable destinations for cultural tourism…
The museums' purpose is to preserve the cultural and historical heritage and
successfully pass it forward.
They manage to
provide something for every taste – for some people, it is a source of
knowledge; for others, it is a place for reflection and entertainment or a
journey back in time. Over the years, they have become organizations that build
up their universal character and language intelligible to everyone – no matter
the sex, race, or religion. The museum is a specific communication tool for
people from different epochs removing the barriers between them, shortening the
distances, breaking and eradicating the stereotypes.
How do
caricaturists “see” the museum? Could this heritage treasury be “described” and
“characterized” with pencil, pen, or ink?
We are looking
forward to your answers.
